Re: Curiosity Launch
Curiosity may be landing close to Spirit relative to the size of the planet, but it's still about 2000 km away, and Spirit only went about 8 km. Besides the fact that if Curiosity ever did get there, Spirit has already been declared "dead" since we haven't been able to communicate with it for over a year.
These rovers really are impressive. Less than a billion dollars got both Spirit and Opportunity to another planet for 6 years, and one of them is still going! Let's hope for the same success for Curiosity.
